Business Formation & Structuring
How we set you up for success:
Navigating the registration process can be complex, but we handle the entire process for you. We manage the registration of your business with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under the Companies Act 2015, ensuring full compliance with all legal requirements. From filing the necessary documents to securing official recognition, we make sure your business is officially and properly registered, avoiding legal pitfalls and ensuring smooth operations from the start.
One of the most critical decisions when starting a business is choosing the right structure. Whether you're considering a sole proprietorship, partnership, or limited liability company (LLC), Chanel Law provides tailored advice on which structure best aligns with your business goals and growth potential. We help you understand the advantages and potential drawbacks of each option, ensuring you select the best structure to suit your vision and minimize risks.
Before you can start operating, obtaining the right licenses and tax registrations is essential. We will help you obtain all the necessary business licenses, permits, and tax identification numbers (TINs) to ensure that your business is fully compliant with local regulations and tax laws. We guide you through the process, ensuring that you meet all legal requirements from day one so that you can focus on growing your business without worrying about legal compliance.
Preventing conflicts before they arise is key to protecting your business’s future. At Chanel Law, we draft and review essential governance documents such as partnership agreements, shareholder agreements, and operating agreements. These documents set clear expectations for all stakeholders and help prevent future disputes. By ensuring that your agreements are legally sound, we provide the foundation for smooth, transparent, and successful business operations.
